BOYS CAP.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 259,521, dated June 13, 1882.

Application filed April 29, 1882.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, AARON FR-ANKENBERG, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boys Gaps, of which the following is a specification.

Boys caps have heretofore been made by stitching the body of the cap to the lower part of a stiff band, made of pasteboard, and a suit able covering, and applying then the lining and the trimmings. This construction had the disadvantages that a large portion of the material which formed the body of the cap was covered by the exterior band, and that, furthermore, the boys frequently disconnected the body from the band and tore the cap by poking the fingers down in the annular space between the body and band.

The object of my invention is to furnish an improved boys cap which can be manufactured at a considerable saving of labor and material, and which is at the same time rendered stronger and less liable to be torn and injured 5 and the invention consists of a boys cap the crown of which is connected to the stiff exterior band at the upper part of the same at the same time and by the same stitching by which the binding is applied to the band.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side view, partly in section, of a boys cap, made according to the construction heretofore in use. Fig. 2 is a side view, partly in section, of a boys cap made according to my improved construction; and Fig. 3 is a detail vertical transverse section of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate the corresponding parts.

(N0 model.)

A in the drawings represents a band of pasteboard or other stiff material, which band iscovered at the outside by a suitable fabric and finished at the upper edge with a binding, a. The edge of the crown B is inserted below the binding a of the band and secured simultaneousl y therewith and by the same line of stitches to the upper edge of the band A. The lining O is connected to the lower edge of the covering of the band and stitched to the inside of the band before the exterior covering is put over the same. The cap is then trimmed in the usual manner.

By this construction the material for that part of the body back of the band is saved and the cap completed entirely on the sewingmachine in a stronger manner and with less labor than the caps heretofore in use.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A boys cap composed of a stiff band and of a crown that is attached to the upper edge of the band by the binding of the same, substantially as set forth.

2. Aboys cap composed of a stiff exterior band, ofa crown secured directly to the upper edge of the band by the edge-binding, and of a lining that is attached to the lower edge of the band-covering and to the band, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name inpresence of two subscribing witnesses.
